I have a iMac G3/400 DV SE which currently has no operating system on it. I popped in one of my Toshiba Equium's restore discs (which I knew probaly wouldn't work) and now I can't get it out. I have tried holding down the mouse button, booting into firmware and typing eject cd and holding down the F12 key. IT STILL WONT COME OUT. I really need this CD back because my toshiba is going a bit crazy and I am going to reinstall the OS.

Slot loading iMac... Pick it up by the handle (with the Mac off and disconnected), hold it with the drive face down and carefully shake it... the CD will fall right out. Sounds weird, but it's worked for me. Someone showed me at school and it worked.
